FEES (Flexible Experimental Embedded Satellite) is a self funded, collaborative project by the Italian GP Advanced Projects aimed at developing a low cost platform for In Orbit Testing and Validation of Electronics components.

The whole satellite, including the electronics boards, is entirely design and manufactured within the project. The flight will be also the validation of this platform and components. The 0.3 kg satellite is built to a 0.3UCubeSat (10 cm × 10 cm × 3 cm) form factor.

The first FEES satellite will be launched in March 2021 and will be deployed from the UniSat 7 satellite.

The FEES 2 satellite was launched onboard the Dragon CRS-24 cargo spacecraft to the ISS, where it will be deployed later.
